2013, Friday, 11am, St Theresa’s before
the Blessed Sacrament
My Holy People. Stop
and stay with Me awhile.
I welcome your company and encourage you to sit with the
Maker of All and just relish in My Presence.
Do not be stubborn and think you don’t have time for
this. I have given you each moment, so
do not tell Me you are in charge of time.
Only I Am.
Sit gently and see how time can pass most fruitfully in My
Presence.
You will find that you have to do nothing in My
Presence. No chores, no errands, no
talking, no busy-ness.
We can keep ourselves busy doing very good things. And I appreciate all of these.
Yet I ask you what do you think is the greatest gift you can
offer to Me? YOU.
Not ‘busy you’ or ‘doing good deeds you’ but just you with
Me. Doing nothing, just being together.
We are all rather good at showing our love of neighbor,
however we fall short on the First greatest commandment – Love your God with
all your heart, all your mind, all your strength.
Will you come aside and sit with Me and give Me ‘all your
heart’?
Will you come aside and sit with Me and give Me ‘all your
mind’?
Will you come aside and sit with Me and give Me ‘all your
strength’?
I want you here before Me with NO distractions. That is True Love. When nothing else gets in the way of the 2 of
us loving one another and knowing the love of the other.
You are willing to serve others. Are you willing to serve Me?
If I call and say I need help will you come and visit Me and
ask what I need help with?
You know what I need help with – getting into your heart.
You may do Great Good things, but I want you to do Great God
things.
Even someone who does not know Me can do good things.
Knowing Me though takes you to a new level. The Good things you do, you do in My Name.
But the ‘knowing ME’ cannot, must not stop there.
To truly do things in My Name you have to spend time with
the One whose Name you do it in.
It is like hockey. I
can play on a team and do good things with the team, but if I do not spend time
outside of hockey with them -- all we
are is a hockey team. Not individuals
who though willing to play on a team, do not get to know each other on the
team.
There is the spirit in each other that we have to find and
meet and know and respect.
So come aside and meet The Spirit that abides in each
person. It just isn’t their smile or
their pleasant personality, it is a far deeper part of them that only I the
Giver of this deeper part can bring to your attention.
Many of us put into action what we feel our faith calls us
to. However, we don’t first get in touch
with the Origin of our Faith to make sure we are just not too comfortable doing
what we think needs doing.
What are you ‘doing’ that keeps you from being entirely,
solely in My Presence.
Ask yourself: “I
don’t mind spending hours volunteering, etc, yet am I willing to spend an hour
volunteering to keep Me company?
Again I appreciate all the good so many of you are
doing. Yet when I ask you for an hour of
your time with Me, it almost seems like you feel it is not good enough to do.
Who will measure it?
Who are you helping? How can I
stop ‘doing’ a good thing out in the community to come aside and pass the time
with God? There is so much to be done
that I can’t possibly give over an hour to spend with the Lord in silent
adoration.
Ask yourself: “why do
I allow this barrier between you, God, and me?”
Am I afraid that You will take me to places I don’t want to
go? Like into the middle of Your Most
Sacred Heart where all will be revealed to me and I may find that I am not
doing Your Will but mine.
You can’t truly love your neighbor if first and foremost you
don’t love Me.
How do you show your neighbor you love them? -- by
doing things for them when you know they need it or ask for it.
So now I will ask you – “Are you willing to treat Me as your
neighbor and help Me when I ask you to come aside and sit with Me and let Me
speak of My Love for you?”
Do you believe in My Real Presence in the Tabernacle, in the
Sacred Host? Then if you say you do,
then you will be so inclined to come aside and spend time with Me – the eternal
person in your life.
Do not abandon Me for the other charitable works you are
doing.
It is your God first and foremost whom you are asked to
serve. And the greatest service you can
do is to come aside and sit with Me and listen to Me talk about how I love you
and how I want your heart to truly love.
You may love to serve others, yet I want you to learn to
forgive others. And you can only do that
through My Instruction.
Come aside and let Me love you into a whole different level
of service.
Thank you for coming.
I love you, go in peace to serve Me more fully.
